CHIMTEK"
ADVANCED CHIMNEY TECHNOLOGY
SAFER; CHIMTEK is designed to withstand severe chimney
fires without breaking or transmitting high temperatures to
adjoining combustible materials.
LESS CREOSOTE: Wood smoke contains moisture (H : 0).
When the smoke comes into contact with a surface under
approx. 250 degrees F the water will condense to a liquid.
This liquid combined with other products in wood smoke will
result In creosote. Creosote can be very dangerous when it
ignites. The inside of a CHIMTEK chimney stays much war
mer and greatly reduces the amount of creosote formation.
In many cases CHIMTEK chimneys are completely clean
after years of use.
IMPROVES STOVE PERFORMANCE: The draft produced
by a chimney is what' pulls oxygen into the (ire (or combus
tion. The three main (actors affecting draft are the chimney’s
height, size and temperature. CHIMTEK contains a great
amount of a very special insulating material that is not
affected by moisture saturation and will not Seattle or deter
iorate. Poor draft will result in poor combusion. Poor combu
slon will create more smoke. Smoke is wasted fuel. Newere
EPA certified stoves are especially dependent on proper
draft to perform properly.
